Awesome updates, Marty! You have made tremendous progress and it's coming together! Like you said, the last 10% takes 90% of the time.

Not much longer!

Default Andrew AKA Dr EFI said get back out there and get it going (( 07-06-24 ))

I was talking with Ron Wilson and we laughed about all the things that happened yesterday. It was just one of those days
where if it could go wrong it did. So today (the 6th) I went back out to the garage and decided to work on the cars issue's.

Grampa's Ashtray being used a small parts holder



Step 1 Remove AC Lines



Step 2 Identify the bad hose clamp



Step 3 Make sure you go up in the attic an bring down a couple towels to protect you Anvil Carbon Inner Fender.



Step 4 Get out the heat gun and cook the Gates Hose clamps again and pray it works.



Pray a little more



Spend 30 Minutes looking for the Griot Fender Cover and find it under Remy...Ugh



Step 5 Check the Trans Fluid and find out it was a quart low, add fluid move on.



Opps, I spilled a little which means it probably going to smoke a little later.



Step 6 Start car and run it through the gears and if it feels let's go around the block.



I finally figured out why it got stuck on the lift. Apparently the front end settle all the way down to 3" from the ground.
I originally set it at 4.5" and I am guessing all of the parts that went back on the car lowered it.



Here we go.



Yep, It started smoking while I was driving it.



I finally got a good look at the grille and I love it.

Thank you and I am hoping to drive it this weekend to a local car show. However, I doubt the hood will be on the car.
